That message made no sense to me. What exactly is the vulnerability in PHP? I can write a dozen PHP scripts that will mess up various versions of Windows. -Rasmus

Hi, This doesn't look like a problem in PHP, but probably some faulty driver or hardware (might be also a low level Windows bug although it's less likely). An application is not supposed to be capable to reboot a server no matter what it does (well, unless it requests a reboot and has sufficient credentials to get one). If you're getting a bluescreen or a spontaneous reboot, it means that something prevented the OS from doing its memory-protection job properly, typically a faulty driver, memory problem or other hardware problem, and less often an OS bug. You should investigate whether this happens on other, different machines as well, to get a feel for whether this is a Windows bug or some problem on your specific system.
